Gu Qinghuan put down his pen and asked Lu Bai: "How about Wang Changkang's new play?"

"It's okay, but it's much worse than "The Peony Pavilion." Lu Bai turned around and looked at Gu Qinghuan, "You don't sleep most of the night, what are you waiting for me?"

Gu Qing sighed happily, and sat opposite Lu Bai, "The queen is pregnant."

Lu Bai blurted out subconsciously, "If you have it, you will have it. As for you waiting until midnight, it's not mine. If you have it—wait!"

Lu Bai came back to his senses.

He looked at Gu Qinghuan, "This demon book case was released by the queen. She released it for the sake of the child in her belly?"

Gu Qinghuan nodded.

When she went to report to the queen mother this morning, the two of them thought about it for a while, but before they could come up with an answer, the queen who went to pay her respects to the queen mother said everything.

Her idea of ​​fabricating the demon book and releasing it out of the palace was very simple, to let King Luo and all the officials behind him fight with King Kang in full swing, and attract all the attention inside and outside the palace to it, thus ignoring her stomach.

"When she gives birth to a son-in-law, all the disputes will be gone now." Lu Bai admired him. behind."

As the saying goes, if you have a descendant, you will establish a descendant, and if you have no descendant, you will establish an elder.

The reason why all the officials stood beside King Luo was fighting against the emperor who favored King Kang and the Lu family. The most important banner was that King Luo was the eldest son.Now that there is a son-in-law in front of the eldest son, all the officials must of course turn around to support the son-in-law.

Especially for the Gu family, the prince of a maidservant is not a member of the Gu family after all. This son has the blood of the Gu family. Of course, he must help him wholeheartedly, even at all costs, just like he once abandoned Gu Qinghuan in exchange for the support of the current emperor from the Lu family. .

"This abacus is really good." Lu Bai's tone was full of respect.

He has never seen this queen so far. In the past, this queen was also a transparent person with him. She was a tool person supported by the queen mother and supported by the Gu family. He never thought that this tool person would become a blockbuster if he didn't make a name.

"However, how does she know that she is pregnant with a legitimate son? What if it is a daughter?" Lu Bai asked.

"Is it important?"

Gu Qinghuan felt that Lu Bai still thought too simply about the struggle for power.

Regardless of whether the child in the queen's womb is male or female, those people will try to kill it in the cradle. The 50.00% risk is already very high.

Lu Bai was taught, "That's true."

At this moment, Yunniang brought in a basin of water, she waited for Lu Bai to wash his hands and face, and then asked Gu Qinghuan to wash his hands and face.

Then, Yunniang fetched another basin of bath water, and took off the shoes on Lu Bai's feet to wash his feet.

Sitting next to him, Gu Qinghuan said, "Not only was she responsible for the demon book case, but she also made great efforts to transfer you to the capital."

Lu Bai was thoughtful, "Four months ago?"

Gu Qinghuan nodded.

After learning that Gu Qinghuan was in Yancheng, and beside her was Lu Bai who had entered the realm of cultivation, the queen had already made up her mind.It's just that in order to keep it secret, she didn't reveal that she was pregnant. She just persuaded Gu Shu and the queen mother to transfer Lu Bai to the capital as soon as possible, so that the fourth aunt could return to the capital as soon as possible.

"She feels that with the two of us by her side, when she becomes pregnant one day and cannot hide it, we can help by the side." Gu Qinghuan said.

It is too easy to kill a fetus.

Whether it is medicine, witchcraft, or exorcising ghosts, it is too easy to kill a fetus.The Gu family has a great career, and several children are practicing in Xiyanchi, but it is difficult for them to return to the capital to protect the queen due to the rules of the teacher.

Even if Xiyanchi allows the Gu family's children or sends them to protect the fetus in the queen's womb, it will probably cost a lot, so it is the best choice for Lu Bai, who has entered the realm of cultivation, to return to the capital.

It's just that the queen probably didn't expect that she just had one more protector beside her. She never expected that Lu Bai's cultivation speed would be so fast. If Lu Bai is protecting her now, she might feel full of security.

That's why she said it out loud today.

After Gu Qinghuan finished speaking, she looked at Lu Bai.

Lu Bai glanced at her, "Don't look at me, I don't care, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor, it's up to you."

He wiped his feet with Yunniang's help.

Lu Qinghuan chuckled, "Do we have a choice?"

No matter from which point of view, Gu Qinghuan had no choice but to help the queen, after all the queen still called her aunt, not to mention before they got married, because the queen was only a few years younger than her, so they almost grew up together.

Gu Qinghuan could not remain indifferent to her plea.

Lu Bai nodded, "Understood."

He took out a paper crane from his arms, "Let her wear this thing on her body all year round, it can withstand an attack by a master below the sky-breaking realm."

Lu Bai took out another lantern from the desk behind him, "This is called a ghost lantern. Within the light of this lantern, evil spirits have nowhere to hide, and it can also suppress evil spirits below the mountain range."

Lu Bai took out all the things from the bottom of the box.

As for the ghost-calling talisman and ghost-dispelling talisman on hand, the queen probably won't be able to use it, and there is another talisman that might be useful, but Lu Bai has never used this talisman. Know what it can invite.

It would be a bad idea if Guixianer was invited.

"Okay, I will enter the palace tomorrow and hand it over to her." Gu Qinghuan said happily.

At least she had an explanation to the queen, otherwise, she would always feel sorry for her niece begging her, but she couldn't come up with any means.

"I'll go to the palace tomorrow too." Lu Bai stood up and stretched.

He guessed that he went to investigate Liu Yan today, the emperor must have got the news, he would not stop talking to Lu Bai, after all, the facts are there, and Lu Bai is investigating the case on behalf of the empress dowager, the emperor always wants to say a word.

The rain was still pattering down.

Since it was late enough, Lu Bai didn't bother Gu Qinghuan, so they rested upstairs.

It rained continuously.

The raindrops on the eaves dripped into the water tank under the eaves, ticking, or fell on the banana leaves, clacking.Lu Bai put his arms around Gu Qinghuan, listening to the spring rain, he didn't feel disturbed, but felt very warm.

Just like when I was a child, hiding in the quilt with my playmates, leaving a gap to look outside, imagining that the quilt blocks the ghosts, and then playing with my playmates in the quilt is so joyful and warm.

Listening to the spring rain in the middle of the night like this, when Lu Bai hugged Gu Qinghuan and had a big spring and autumn dream, he accidentally glanced outside the window in a trance, and couldn't help but wake up.

It was bright outside.

It's like burning half of the sky, and then the light falls on the wall outside the window and the scene on the eaves.

Fortunately, it's a little far away, so don't worry too much.

Even so, Lu Bai decided to go out and check it out. It's not a trivial matter to have such a big fire in this rainy season.

Lu Bai pulled away from the body where Gu Qinghuan was resting his pillow, and in an instant his figure disappeared into the house, and then appeared on the high horse's head wall, with his feet on the tile eaves, standing against the wind in the drizzle.

The wind was a bit cool, it stirred Lu Bai's hair, and his single clothes rattled.

Lu Bai followed the light of the fire and looked into the distance, frowning involuntarily, "Imperial Palace?"

Did Gu Qinghuan just say that something went wrong with the Queen?

It wouldn't be so coincidental.

"You don't need to go. With Neishutang here, a decent person can't be burned to death." The slovenly Taoist priest appeared behind Lu Bai at some point, and the wicked monk was also there.

"If anyone was burned to death, it was definitely ordered by the emperor to burn them to death." The sloppy Taoist laughed and took a sip of his wine.

Lu Bai focused his eyes, remembering the empress who was burned to death when the Supreme Emperor was in power.It seems that the emperor is ruthless enough.

He turned his eyes back and looked back at the sloppy Taoist priest, "What's wrong with you, you're drinking outside on a rainy day."

Lu Bai glanced at the wicked monk again, and saw that he was not drinking, but was sitting cross-legged on the ground and chanting, "You visitors are really weird."

The sloppy Taoist grinned, "Do you know why this rainy day is called ghost weather? Because this is the season when there are few people and ghosts come out to move around. The cloudy clouds cover the sky and block the sky. It is also a good time to practice."

"Your practice is drinking?" Lu Bai felt puzzled.

He asked them to rest early, then looked in the direction of the palace, disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, people had already appeared on the glazed tile eaves of the majestic palace wall.

At this time, a light shirt appeared on him, and a white cloud floated in the night wind.

Lu Bai probed and looked, the imperial guards at the palace gate were orderly and quiet as usual, still guarding the palace gate in shock, turning a blind eye to the fire burning in the distance.

Lu Bai heard that the palace often caught fire, and there was once last year.

When he was killing the Jinyiwei Sheren, that is, Jinyiwei Qianhu, the craftsmen that Jinyiwei Qianhu extorted were the craftsmen who had repaired the palace for the emperor after the fire in the palace.

These imperial guards are orderly, which shows that they are used to it.

Lu Bai glanced around, and his figure disappeared again, ready to go to Fengqi Palace where the empress was.Although he didn't care who was sitting on the throne, since Gu Qinghuan wanted to protect her niece, Lu Bai could help as much as he could.

It's just that when Lu Bai appeared within the scope of the harem, he had to show his figure and stand on a roof.

On the ridge opposite him stood a pale old eunuch.

His back was stooped, the skin on his face had turned into walnut bark, and he coughed from time to time, similar to the elderly old men he met on the street.

But appearing here, Lu Bai knew that he was not simple.

"Lord Lu." The old eunuch bowed, "Please stay, the harem is forbidden to enter without purpose."

Lu Bai glanced around, it wasn't the Fengqi Palace where the queen was on fire, but it was not far from Fengqi Palace, so I don't know which palace it was.

As long as it's not Fengqi Palace, Lu Bai felt relieved and said to the old eunuch: "Old man, I also have a good intention."

The old eunuch smiled kindly, "Of course I know Lord Lu has good intentions. If not, I wouldn't just stop here. It's just that the harem is not allowed to enter without purpose, and I hope Lord Lu understands. As for the fire in the harem—it's just a If the uninhabited palace is flooded, Mr. Lu does not need to worry."

Lu Bai nodded, "That's good."

He cupped his hands, bid farewell to the old eunuch, and then disappeared in a flash without leaving a trace.

"It's amazing that Mr. Lu came and went without a trace." Xiao Ma, the little eunuch who used to accompany him on the roof of Juxian Pavilion, stood under the palace, looked up at the top, and said enviously after seeing Lu Bai disappear.

The old eunuch nodded, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to have such a great cultivation at such a young age."

His figure flashed, and then appeared next to the pony.

Xiao Ma supported him and asked curiously: "Master, if he wants to force his way in, can you stop him?"

"Me?" The old eunuch shook his head with a smile, "I can't do it, the ancestors have to do it."

The pony couldn't help but be speechless.

The ancestors in the Inner Study Hall were all in the Ascension Realm, but the eunuchs couldn't ascend, so they could only be stuck in the Ascension Realm waiting to die of old age.But being old and close to a monster, being able to work with them shows how powerful Lu Bai is.

"Is this really us young people?" Pony felt incredible.

"There are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. It is not unusual for a monster to appear. Don't be discouraged." The old eunuch touched the pony's head kindly, and looked at the direction where Lu Bai disappeared, thinking that it was inappropriate just now, and when we meet again, Be sure to ask Lu Bai where Pangu Island is.

It has been more than 200 years since Sanbao eunuch founded Neishutang. The eunuchs who first stepped into the Ascension Realm have almost reached the point where their oil is exhausted. If they cannot find a chance to prolong their life, what awaits them is a handful of loess.

Practicing for longevity.

Of course, the ancestors of Neishutang don't like to die, and they don't want to die, they are trying to survive.But if you can't ascend, the only way to survive may be to go to Pangu Island.

It's just that Pangu Island is very hard to find, and Lu Bai from Pangu Island may be their only chance to enter Pangu Island smoothly.

When Lu Bai returned to the room, Gu Qinghuan was still awake.

She asked Lu Bai, "What happened?"

"The palace is on fire, but the queen mother and queen are fine, don't worry." Lu Bai got into bed again, and fell asleep peacefully with his arms around Gu Qinghuan.

When Gu Qinghuan heard that the queen and queen mother were fine, she also turned around and fell asleep.

This sleep until dawn.

When they got up and had dinner, the streets and the Qinhuai River were already bustling with activity. The peddlers hawking in the streets and alleys kept shouting, as if they were listening to a song. Sometimes Lu Bai deliberately stopped to listen to them soliciting business.

"According to people outside, the fire was quite big yesterday. If it wasn't for the rain, there would probably be a few palaces missing." Yun Niang inquired about some news from the outside.

She put down a cup of tea and said: "It is rumored that there are ghosts in the palace, that's why there are frequent fires."

Lu Bai thought it was very possible.

This imperial palace is a Shura field, in which an unknown number of people die every year, and there is a lot of resentment, maybe it will breed an evil spirit to set fire to vent their anger.

"With Neishutang here, would they allow the evil spirits to set fire?" Gu Qinghuan asked.

Chapter 4 and Three Subtleties

Lu Bai felt that it was different.

Everything in this world is born and restrained by each other. The eunuchs in Neishutang have the chrysanthemum book and star-stretching technique. They are superior in martial arts and divination, but they may not be so good at dealing with ghosts.

"Sneaky is inherently difficult to deal with," Lu Bai said.

The sneaky one is invisible and qualityless, flickering, disappearing without a trace when it comes, it is difficult to track down.

If you want to kill ghosts and ghosts, you can kill them with awe-inspiring righteousness; you can kill them with Taoism.

After entering the realm of cultivation, those who are far superior to evil spirits can be killed with spells or mind power, but it is quite laborious and lacks means. It is as difficult as catching a fish in the Qinhuai River.
